@Lost Soul prepare some kind of bowl where you can lay your pipe once it gets hot and you get launched into the stratosphere. It's one thing less to think about when things get... dicey.

Because families are mostly source of trauma. For example, medicating kids and returning them to their dysfunctional families doesn't solve anything if the family doesn't change it's dynamics. It makes the problem worse by simply treating the symptoms of a bigger dysfunction. Now answer on your original post: From my perspective, you either emotionally detach and become non-reactive, or you distance/cut them off. I don’t think it’s possible to build an authentic relationship with people who don’t actively question themselves or engage in deep self-reflection, which naturally comes with higher levels of development on Spiral Dynamics.

@Thought Art I agree. I use only e-mesh and find it awesome, but OP asked for advice related to pipes.

This torch should do the job. Try not to burn the chem, but to slowly heat it up so it vaporizes. I never used pipes but if I would need to chose one of these, it would be the number 4.

Yes. But I did months of very rigorous self inquiry, and had a several psychedelic awakening prior to this. My life is as it always was, but after several of such experiences it now has different flavor. It’s more like I take everything less seriously. existence, myself, my problems, and I draw much more joy from life.

I just misread the title as "Joe Rogan posts dick of Leo on X." The internet has officially broken me.

Mooooooar! We demand moar!

@Davino Doooope. I love it!

@Letho Yes, this is too advanced for me right now.

Good point. I will think about this.

Hi-diddly-ho is always there to judge her when something goes off the script.

Fair point. I imagine 20 simple meditators and you as a actualized.org member, choking and rolling on the floor becoming aware of the construct. The group is watching and thinking, dafuck is wrong with you girl? We just came for a bit of meditation. @Letho Wait, what? Finally someone that addresses the real issue here. I though this is crucial part of my growth towards the stage Turquoise.

Thank you. 1. The Infinite. Beyond time, space, and form. 2. For me now, with my state lowered again, other people are mostly a way to reground myself by sharing the experience and playing nonsense human games. The loop continues.

@How to be wise I hope you never decide to became a therapist. Your patients will jump from a balcony right after the first hour with you.

Well, that alone makes him a great candidate for a president - considering the times we live in. 😆

@SchizophoniaBruh, this hits your whole posting style like a truck 😂

I never had a sober awakening but after a psychedelic breakthrough it feels like I could have an effortless breakthrough during sober meditation, for some time after the psychedelic experience. A psychedelic awakening can create a neural imprint, making the meditative path to that state more familiar and accessible afterward. You are dreaming everything and everyone, including your human-self. Therefore it's all nothing. At the same time you have unlimited potential to be everything. I have no idea why Leo and other teachers call this Love since I never had an insight about infinite love. That is how I currently see it based on my direct experiences.

@Santiago Ram I personally don’t know anyone who does that, but Gabor Maté has some courses you might want to check out if you work with addicts. Reclaiming authenticity. Healing tauma and addiction. Compassionate self-inqury. https://drgabormate.com/courses/

If AI ever developed its own "will" ,even if purely based on optimization, it might see us as obstacles or inefficiencies to be managed. Exploitation isn’t always about material gain. Also, what happens when countries with no moral code unleash super-powerful AI?

It scares me that in the near future, we might no longer be the apex predators who exploit other life forms, but instead become the ones being exploited.

Maybe we’re moving toward creating a new kind of species. One that fully understands human psychology, knows our fears, desires, and everything about us. It seems scary to me .

Leo, could you do a deep dive into how modern "masculine gurus" attract young men with charisma and confidence, yet often lack real wisdom or self-awareness? Many of them promote shallow, ego-driven masculinity while ignoring deeper self-reflection, even when using psychedelics. Why do so many fall for these figures, and how can true seekers avoid being misled?

Interesting, that gives me an idea: Video request

No French person in this world speaks English. 😆 @Never_give_up You've shared a lot about your fears.. Would you be open to sharing more about your background? What happened?
